Default SIZE 13 boot. Banshee or XR650 shifter

I have a problem getting my big foot around my shifter. I cant keep my foot straight when sitting on the pegs. Wondering if the Banshee shifter would give me more room than the XR650?

Just change the angle of the shifter?. I'm a 12 and have no issues, did have to change the angle a bit when I was riding in Aluminum toe workboot's as they were so tall.

I’ve had an aftermarket XR shifter that wasn’t much longer than the stock klx shifter. Maybe I just chose the wrong lever. Have also had a couple of the XR shifters that are 1” longer which was pretty good for my size 13. But I had always wished it was a little longer. So I ordered a banshee shifter recently and I love the length, but it will need a bit of bending to fit. Unfortunately the lever I got is made from T-6061 aluminum that can’t be bent easily without a darn torch which I don’t have. I should have looked closer at the ad. (It’s a Tusk lever) Anyway, will find a new one. One thing to note about the banshee, many I found didn’t have the folding tip. Don’t think I would want one without that tip.
